THOROGOOD BOOTS Resole #62

[@sawasm.8672]

The best resol I've ever seen mate!! The result just blow me away. The colour combination, finish , proportions... just perfect!! I'm following u now for one year and I've seen every video of you. Brian wish you just the best.. and thank you for beeing part of my life! From Hamburg Germany.. Sawas :-)

[@simonsimon340]

Amen to that!

[@sisleymichael]

Wow. Fantastic. I just found this channel. This popped up in my feed so I said let me see this. I wear those boots all the time. I now know who to get to resole my boots. Thanks.

[@soter305]

I feel like Brian was transported here by a time machine.

[@MrChristianbowman82]

Exactly what you said!

[@kimcokevin]

At first I didn’t understand why you’d cut off perfectly good original soles... and then I saw the finished product. Man those are straight up classy.

[@thayne559]

My thoughts too. Those boots were barely broke in.

[@rapt0rk3v]

I wanted to make a snarky comment after I saw the original soles but watched the full video after I read yours. I’d get a new pair resoled by this guy any day 👍

[@nickwerner6993]

The amount of time and pride put into each boot, is really an amazing thing . Wish more people today were like you!

[@tylertripp3610]

Thank you for your videos. I switched to Thorogoods from Redwings years ago and I’ve never looked back. Love your work, keep up the great content!

[@RatdogDRB]

THIS is the video I've been waiting on... seeing how my Thorogood boots are constructed, and how they might look with some Roll Club love applied to them. I'm thinking, white cork, oiled leather (no dye), a little taller on the heel than you did on these, and, m'be some leather lining on the inside of the toe box. I'm not a big fan of the fabric lining, it doesn't last like leather does. Nice work there, young man.

[@Okie-Dad-Jake]

Going into boot repair/ re-soling apprenticeship. You made this look so easy when it is not. Your video was like a step by step tutorial. Very nice work!!! You are years ahead of me bro. Lol I hope that one day I can master this skill just like you.

[@jcmc8235]

Finally a pair of Thorogood boots..... Great boots, now, awesome...

[@drywater_]

They were Thorogood, now they're Thorogreat

[@Phinalhour]

Honestly probably the best resole I’ve e ever seen. The boot looks so damn good now. Amazing job Brian!

[@deecord]

I was gonna complain that there was still a lot of life left on those soles. After seeing what you did it was definitely an upgrade. Great work man!

[@mschock98]

Amazing work. Quality craftsmanship like this is a lost art anymore. Glad to see you're keeping it alive and well.

[@LyndseyMacPherson]

Happy Sunday! Seeing the craft and effort Brian puts into resoles--just imagine how well made his handmade boots are. ^^

[@michaelfichtner3611]

Wow..... these are gorgeous. I’m blown away by your craftsmanship. Keep up the good work.

[@greythorton2772]

Man the craftsmanship is outstanding! This was awesome to watch!

[@iainmceachran321]

Wow! What can I say? I wondered why the customer wanted new soles...... Then I saw the result, fantastic. You are certainly a master at this. I congratulate you, Brian - and also your customer for getting those real classy boots. Fabulous!

[@paulallenkokapaulie6313]

I love your work brother. Hand sewing the welt vs a McKay attention to detail . I love seeing another shudude at work. Keep true to the craft young man ....you're a treasure

[@lvfregoso8]

By far my favorite!!!! Beautiful work.. like the cameo of the maestro

[@BrianWalsingham]

The best resole I’ve seen and it really complements the Thorogood boot beautifully.

[@f308gtb1977]

The plier/tong flip with the subsequent smile/nod at the camera at 7:53 was easily worth the “like” all by itself. Fortunately, the rest of the video was great, too! Thanks Brian!

[@SuperFlowback]

I love thorogood boots. Their my favorite work boot. I have a little over 3 yrs on a pair (8” moc toe) just like these in the oilfield. They are comfortable right out of the box and the sole has lasted this whole time. But I will say they never came anywhere close to looking this good. This video makes me want to buy a new pair and send them straight to California and have Brian throw some of his magic on them. Probably the best transformation of any boots I’ve seen done on this channel and that’s saying a lot. You’re a master at your craft Brian. Please don’t ever stop

[@vasiliynikiforov1976]

Thank you very much for sharing resole videos. When i was rooky in russian army, it was summer of 2004, we had to change heels by ourselves. We had to learn it at one night using only hammer and iron thing which placed into boot and we called it paw. No one teached us and it was almost panic. Btw, we had few nails and nobody told us to find some, we could do it earlier, ahaha. At the morning we all had changed heels. Funny now, but then it wasn't so, lol. And ofcourse we had only two paw and two hammer for 120 young men 😂 Heels of soviet army boot have 11 holes for nails. If i'm not wrong. Watching your videos i'm learning to do same, want to make and repair if it's needful boots for myself and my beautiful people :) You do great job! Greetings from Russia.

[@fastlee84]

I believe you made that shoe look even better with that color combination and style!! Love it!!!

[@bw33511]

agree...that was amazing

[@philipperohart9301]

you can be proud of your work. It's a real pleasure to see you working, with a smile, loving what you do ... Thank you for your videos.

[@BrianTheBootmaker]

My pleasure 🙏🙏🙏

[@mississippichris]

I get such a good vibe from your videos. When the camera focused on your teacher, I smiled before he did, and his smile was instant. I am thankful for the smiles and peace reflected in your joy of your craft. Feliz Navidad!

[@sugarpuff2978]

This for me is the nicest pair of boots I've seen on this channel.

[@MrAlexissantana]

Sugar Puff I agree with you. Even though I have many High-end Boots after watching that video makes me want to by a pair and send in to Brian to put one of those nice looking soles on them.😉

[@DitIsIdroj]

I actually think Brian mskes better boots. Id love to own a pair of his, shipping costs tho.

[@ricardonuno1694]

agreed

[@rogergagne1026]

@@MrAlexissantana me too

[@Vekurus]

Makes me want to head there and have him set me up with some boots!!!

[@sparks701]

That sole looked really tough to get off! I wear thorogood boots everyday for work. Never thought I could go to work looking that good.

[@mrmidnight32]

Same thing as the nike swag kids but in boot/hipster style. They just want to spend money to make things different or “better” not cause they need to but cause they can and so other people see it.

[@JJ-lu6mg]

Cktime ThirtyTwo exactly those boots are definitely not going to be seen on any worksite...

[@JJ-lu6mg]

@ Reece Rapson I wasn’t saying that you don’t see Thorogood’s or Redwings on job sites. What he was referring to is that nobody who buys these boots are going to have a brand new boot resoled by Brian and then wear them to work. His resole service costs more than what that actual boot cost.

[@andytuesday500]

@@JJ-lu6mg Thorogoods are easy to break in I guess no resole for me

[@bluegrassman3040]

@@JJ-lu6mg Thorogood will resolve them for you, for about half the price of a new pair.

[@renatoCesarSpZl]

I respect your work and your simplicity, brother. A hug from Brazil 👍🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@thoraxia]

I love the music and the heart you put into your work. You're a true craftsman and the fact that you're so young is just plain inspiring. Thank you for your channel and it's content. I wish you much success.

[@jeffreygoss8109]

Three minutes in and I’m like this guy has passion and pride. I have no desire to sew up a boot but really enjoyed watching this guy.

[@soylentgreen2065]

Beautiful!! You're teacher clearly did a good job with you. Pass along my gratitude to him.

[@maxstatic]

Them: are you seriously watching a dude resole boots? Me: why yes, yes I am, his name is Brian, he’s the Bootmaker. Them: can I watch too? Much love Brian, cheers.

[@zombis89fisto]

Something about the music always has a vibe of fine craftsmanship

[@TXDeathInvestigator]

Brian, thank you for continuing to post your videos! I love it when you include your teacher and mentor in your videos!

[@rushedandlost]

Those boots turned out AWESOME ! Great color combo. Also the video production is gotten better. The music builds up to a climax at the end when you show the finished boots. Great timing. Keep up the good work. !!!

[@michaeldothage7179]

Hi Brian. I’m a high school shop teacher and I love your videos! You are an inspiration to me and my students! Thanks for sharing!

[@sparky5833]

Incredible skill not many posses these days. Excellent work Brian. If that gentleman was your Pop in the back he looked so proud if you. I never thought id see a Moc Toe wedge look so good with a stacked leather heel! 👌🏽👍🏽

[@matthewfocke5360]

You have redefined the 'Ol Sh_t Kicken boots into something with class. Superb!

[@WELDERMADEHEADBANDS]

Those thorogoods came out clean Brian! Excellent color combo, El maestro has a smile that makes me smile, I’m sure he’s proud of how far you’ve come in making boots. Great video

[@atomicred1037]

FANTASTIC job, Brian!! They look BETTER than NEW!!

[@woppini]

Best 15min spent on youtube. Awesome stuff, much respect to your talent and finesse

[@partsflight7721]

I have those same pair and sounds crazy but im glad that i have worn them that is close to time to have them resole and will be sending them to the best man for the job. BRIAN THE BOOTMAKER

[@jspeedadventures]

Love these soles, they're gorgeous. Nice to see someone take real pride in their work, you are a true craftsman.

[@kevindumais9610]

What a huge improvement over the original sole. You do awesome work!

[@Vekurus]

All my troubles are lifted and everything wrong with the world fades away just watching a man and his craft, behind music that makes me think of nothing but good times up north on vacation.

[@csnelling4]

That’s a Beautiful job Brian, the new soles and heals are 100% better on those lovely boots .👍👍👍🇬🇧 Your videos are so relaxing Brian 😊

[@svgs650r]

Just fantastic Brian the Boot Maker, damn! If it weren’t for Thorogoods loose grain leather… oh hell, these would still make for a really special casual boot!

[@samseven5260]

Wow! Stunning transformation into a truly badass boot. Nice work!

[@ShawnL61189]

Those turned out amazing! I’m surprised the guy wanted them resoled with what looked like new soles already, but those turned out really nice! What craftsmanship!

[@rodeastell9726]

Great to read so many positive comments about Thorogood boots .. I love mine and they are probably the most comfortable footwear I have ever put on my feet .. mine earn their living too being used in auto restoration workshop. Brilliant video as usual Brian.

[@mannyanaya4189]

Oh wooow!!! They look amazing! Awesome work, Brian!

[@paulc5585]

Damn! Some amazing skills for this craft! Not many people left that can do this kind of work. Love watching the videos!

[@5valvepete618]

Cos of your work I've had my 15+ year old German para boots reasoled an its so much more comfortable than new, like old friends, an it's thanks to your craftsmanship vids that ill have many more years with them 🤞👍

[@ShawnL61189]

I never would have thought that watching videos of this kind of thing would be interesting, but it really is. You clearly do incredible, skillful work and your videos are fun to watch. I just picked up a pair of Thorogood 6” Moc Toe after quite a bit of research. It was between those and Red Wings. Please post more Thorogood videos 😁

[@TheGuitartragic]

Love your work Brian! Just a safety tip...grind off that 'mushroom head' on your punch, mate. Those pieces have been known to fly off after a while when struck with the hammer. Good to see you using safety glasses too! Best wishes from Australia

[@cackler119]

Just came across your channel. You sir are a masterful craftsman. Wonderful work.

[@JohnDoe-df2zz]

Amazing hand work Brian. You should be proud of your work, it's beautiful. Who would have thought I'd spend a couple hours watching boot resole videos.....Keep it up!

[@jasonmiller9495]

As a Thorogood owner I own lots of Thorogood boots man what he did to this pair of Thorogoods is just amazing. He brought them to the next level damn

[@wesleym7927]

Hey Jason I just bought a pair of thorogood 8 inch with the wedge sole if you have had a wedge sole do that hold up good to construction sites and gravel as I bounce around job sites. Thanks for any info I got the wedge sole cause it felt so much better than I the heels I've wore for years and years.

[@michael-xe7rz]

Wow! True Craftsman. Really incredible to witness.

[@jimfortyninebones6946]

I really love the original wedge vibrate sole, my grandsons have that, I didn't think they could be better but im glad that I watched this because you did an awesome job. I love how they came out mate, amazing work

[@bw33511]

Damn.....I just bought a pair of Throgood boots today .....and this is the first video I see.....wow.....they look awesome....I didn't think I could like these boots anymore than I already do....I was wrong.

[@d.h.vargas2450]

Brian, you are the Hombre, that is some tight looking Thorogood Mock toe boot resole job. From what I could tell the owner of the boots did not wear them in a tough work environment. Hardly any wear on the original sole or uppers. I'd love the sport on a resole job like that on my Thorogood at work, but they would not look like that at the end of the day of after crawling, wading, climbing, and kicking around materials and whatnots, a real time working mans boots. I'd buy another pair just for work and wear the resole after or before work. As always your work and attention to detail to your craft and workmanship is to be commended. Outstanding job! 👍👍👍👍

[@jakespede7540]

What an awesome transformation. Great work!! Thanks for sharing.

[@leroybrown811]

Awesome as usual! I don’t know why but I love watching these videos very much! My Iron Rangers will be sent to you soon for a very special re-sole! Can’t wait! Thanks to you amid your girl friend/camera person! As we loved to see your teacher, someday maybe we can see her as well. Leroy the Boot Wearer from Montana! :)

[@BrianTheBootmaker]

Thank you Leroy the Boot Wearer 😄👍🏼

[@xxlilp_pro1088]

Simply amazing! Thorogood boots are very comfortable, and with this resole, much better looking! Thank you for sharing your wonderful craft!

[@hogsandsooners]

But now they will not be as comfortable.

[@AtomicBabel]

Brian, beautiful work again! Not sure if you remember me, I visited your shop just before Tet. This is exactly what I want for my Thorogood Roofer/ monkey boots. See you the next time I'm in LA.

[@skoffco]

Way better than new! Ask me how I know, Brian did a pair of my Alden Indies with that sole😄

Beautiful craftsmanship Brian, those soles look amazing!

[@seanwatts392]

Just bought my first pair today. I work in lawn maintenance /landscaping and usually buy Walmart boots that last mabe 2-8 months. My father in law said these last for a few years with maintenance. I had no idea you had to maintain boots like that and that there were made by hand. I thought they were factory made on China. Can't wait to see how these do.
